Kangarilla Road 2008 Shiraz-Viognier (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia /
Variety: Shiraz-Viognier South Australia
Winery: Kangarilla Road / McLaren Vale

There’s a healthy 8% Viognier in the blend, but this wine doesn’t come across as overtly apricotty. Instead, it delivers big blueberries and blackberries on the nose and hints of plum and cola, with just a hint of raisining. It’s full bodied—almost viscous in texture—balanced by crisp acids on the finish. Drink now-2016.
